Nomination Day announced by the Town of New-Wes-Valley

 Here's a post directly from the Town's website:

2025 Municipal Elections

Are you passionate about The Town of New-Wes-Valleys [sic] future?

Running for Town Council is your opportunity to help represent your neighbours and shape the direction of the community you live in!

Nomination Day: Thursday, September 4th, 2025 from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. at the Town Hall, Wesleyville

What’s Required:

Town Nominators
Completed Nomination form
$10 nomination fee (non-refundable)

So- who wants to sit around the semicircle that is the council chambers this fall? 

It's a big job to take on, full of possibilities of good and bad for four years.  As we have seen from our current council, it can get pretty challenging sometimes, so if you're worried about people gossiping about you or you don't think it's worth the reading and knowledge required, don't accept a nomination.  Dealing with the general public can be very hard to do, and we all have to take care of our own mental health & wellbeing.  

But if you think you can do some good, and can handle the talk of a small town, like to face a challenge, and have the patience and skill to train to be a good councillor, then please put your name forward!

There are mountains of untapped potential in this town and exciting challenges to explore.

In Response to the CAO's Response to the 1st Concerned Citizens Newsletter

We've been asked many times about the slides that the Chief Administrative Officer spoke about at the beginning of the March 18th 2025 Council meeting, and we'd like to explain what that was all about. For those of us who know the previous CAO, it was obvious immediately that an attack was being made against her without an opportunity for her to respond.  For those of you who are still in the dark, prepare yourself with a cuppa and read on.  The first set of bullet points blames the previous CAO for mismanaging the town office and the budget, hoodwinking the Council into doing things they didn't want to do, overspending, and even hiring a family member without the Council's approval. The second set of bullet points boasts of savings and underspending, a CAO tough on rules and procedure, and a better qualified office staff in general since the resignation of the previous CAO.  It also makes the Council look guilty of not taking their jobs seriously. Look at the heading d...
